Now that the historic Remington plant in ilion has sadly closed for good and officially moved to Georgia , will the value of the Mohawk Valley made firearms see an increase in value and become more desirable?

As the price of the new ones are up there, The price for older ones have already taken a large bump. I expect that will be it.
Id personally would pay more for the older blued receivers (slicker action and gorgeous) compared to the more parkerized look of past 15 years but that is just me.
The couple or three Remington rifles I bought 2013 to 2019 were good deals. Add a Timney trigger and a laminate stock and they all shot sub moa 5 shot groups consistently
so I don’t expect to see JM vs Remlin price premiums
I expect it will be more like Winchester. Real Winchesters made in New Haven Ct pre 1980 don’t seen to have a premium over US repeating arms Winchesters made later As quality was relatively equal Unless you go to “ pre 64” rifles. But there you are back to the Marlin analogy as the post 64 winchesters were truly lower quality

I have noticed certain Remington firearms increase in price. I have been buying used Remingtons off of Gunbroker for the greater part of a decade now. I was trying to finish off my collection of 760/7600 pump rifles. The 35 Rem version is one on my list. I used to see them in the $600-800 range, now they are well over a grand now.

I’ve got two original model 1100’s in 12ga & 20ga. , before they switched to the LT models. They are very well made shotguns. I won’t be parting with them any time soon but I would expect to see those jump in price.

Can’t go wrong with an 1100 or 870 pump

No idea what the price will do, but my local SW has a Illion stamped 700 Ultimate Muzzle Loader. I'm hoping to purchase before they all say Georgia, as a reminder that there used to be NY companies fighting the good fight.

Anyone know if the Illion made firearms have the factory support from Rem. of Georgia?

Don't believe so. They couldn't give me any info about old 870s

It would seem, with a brand new factory, brand new CNC equipment, i would think Remington might just make better quality guns.
My biggest concern, is all the fat cats suckin off the bank accounts within the company, again.
Seems there new ammo facility is making some decent ammo now.
Time will tell.

Saw a used 700 bdl in very good condition in a gunshot for $ 900 2. Days ago in 3006
Remington Ammunition is in the same Plant, but under entirely different ownership: Vista Group bought up the "Remington" name and the ammunition division in Arkansas, which has subsequently been sold to a Czech group.
"Rem Arms" came from the defunct Remington Arm Corp. which bankrupted, and was bought up by the Roundhill Group. There's no telling what or how well the products made in Georgia will be and given the 'bugs' invariably associated with new machinery, new operators, new lines, et.al the first ones may or may now reflect the standard of quality that built and ultimately added another nail to the coffin of their demise.
I used to collect Colt's:: Colt built a name brand and reputation, then over time quality diminished while costs increased to the point a once fine named product was abject shit....seems to be a theme of Gun makers across the board.

I agree with the statement on Colt. Although they have gotten better, but at a premium. Same with Winchester. I collect old and new Winchesters, but nothing from the (19) 80s and 90s as their quality was lackluster. The new Winchesters (lever guns) are superb quality, but at a premium. And lets be honest here, they are only Winchester by name, made by the quality craftmanship of the Japanese.
